Smile Shaker Card–CTD #344

ctd344_2015may27


Howdy, all, it’s time for another Color Throwdown Challenge! Today Miss Vickie is our host and she has a really summery palette for us: light pink, light yellow, and green. Looks yummy, doesn’t it?

Are you getting tired of seeing shaker cards from me? I just love making them and sometimes I can’t stop myself ;-) This one is 4 1/4” square, starting with a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Then I cut TRANSFORM-ables Smile Die-namics from more Sweet Tooth card stock and then edged it with Cross-Stitch Square STAX Die-namics. I built my shaker box with heat resistant acetate for the window and foam mounting tape, added sequins and seed beads, and closed up the back with Sweet Tooth card stock. I adhered it to the card base and added some Desert Bouquet flowers, stamped with Lemon Chiffon dye ink, Tickled Pink dye ink, and Daffodil dye ink then fussy cut them out. I added them to the upper left corner, along with some Wild Greenery Die-namics, cut from Limelight card stock and called it done!

A sentiment from Totally Happy was stamped on the inside with Steel Gray dye ink.

And that’s it from me! Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily. And please include a link in your post to the Color Throwdown. If you upload your card to a public forum, please use the keyword CTD344 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd344 and #colorthrowdown on social media. Hope to see you there! Be sure to check out what the other team members have come up with this week, including our incredibly talented May Guest Designer, Tenia Nelson!
